Mini Cooper Video

Here's a video from C/net on the 2007 Cooper S. It's kinda cool 'cause the one in the video looks just like mine. And here's another cool video a prototype '07 Cooper S running at Germany's famed Nürburgring. Enjoy!

Our Annual Weekend on Cape Cod

Well it was off to Cape Cod last Saturday. Marylou found a great deal on a Hotel on Hotels.com " Ocean Edge" in Brewester.


Of course the Mini came too.Here we're at Herring cove at sunset. Sunsets are usually very spectacular here, although this one was nothing special. However what was special were all the Right Whales just off the beach. Check out the video from the Cape Cod Times!




Here's a shot of the Race Point Light just down the beach.


And of course no trip to the Cape would be complete without a stop at the "Bird Watchers General Store". Check out the hours! The owner"Mike " is a crazy guy and you'll have fun there even if your not into birds.

Here's my new car! I took this picture out side of work with my cell phone, so hopefully I'll take some better picks this Weekend. It's a New 2007 Cooper "S"

Car for Sale

I've bought a new car and am selling my 2003 Saturn Vue. So if you know any one interested in a good car at a resonable price please let me know. I'll Post some pictures of the new car as soon as I get a chance to take them.

Bar Harbor, October 2007

353 Miles From Home.

This is our hotel "The Harborside Hotel & Marina." We got a great rate at Orbitz and the hotel is just beautiful and right on the water. Notice the cruise ship peaking out from behind the building.



Marylou on top of Cadillac Mountain. The Cruise ship is in the background. Notice the theme.

Another shot of the cruise ship from the top of Cadillac Mountain. it's from the Princess Line.





A close up taken from our hotel.

The view from our table at the Jordan Pond House. A must if your in the area. They have the best Popovers (Yorkshire Pudding) i've ever had. Especially for desert with homemade ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village

200 Miles From Home

We left home at 5:30am on Sunday, 10/7/07 and arrived at Shaker Village at 9:30am, in plenty of time for meeting. I snapped a few pics I thought everyone might like.

One of the 24+ (and counting) cats sunning herself in the south doorway of the Herb House.

Just incredible blue skys, the kind we only get in New England in the Fall. The Spin House, Boys Shop and Herb House.

Looking out the front gate toward the orchard.

A view along the back side of the Spin House, Boys Shop, Herb House and the Sisters Shop.

No set of pictures at Shaker Village would be complete without at least one shot of a highland. Delmer in this case. Looking quite intimidating too.
